There are different flavors of recession. You can get into some pretty dark scenarios pretty quickly.

I'm a good guy at the end of the day, you know what I'm saying? A lot of people will believe what they see in the media from a long time ago. I'm just growing as an artist and as a person.

I wasn't Barbie-obsessed. I think my mother might have been my Barbie.
